Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 4, 1922.

Application filed Feburary 19, 1921. Serial No. 446,356.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM GEORG BAKER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York Clason Point, borough of the Bronx, in the county of Bronx and State of New York. have invented a new and Improved Saw, of which the fOllOWiIlg is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to saws and has for an object to provide a special saw for sawing a specially constructed clothes pin whereby the clothes pin may more'reslhently pinch a clothes line.

Another object of the intention is to provide a saw in which almost parallel saw members are presented together with a guiding or gouging trimming member.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a side view of a saw disclosing one embodiment of the invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the saw shown in IFigure 1.

Figure} is a front end view of the saw shown in Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a plan view of a clothes pin which has been operated on by the saw shown in Figure 1.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numeral, 1 indicates what may be termed the shank of the saw which merges into the body 2. The body 2 is provided with saw members 3 and 4. having their cutting edges diverged from the front end 5 to about point 6 where they merge into sections 7 parallel with the back 8. It will be seen that the back 8 is approximately as wide as the body is at point 5 while the saw members 3 and 1 diverge. 8 merges into a member 9 which acts as a guiding and gouging member. Member 9 is formed with a turned up end 10 and with file teeth 11 on each edge so that when it enters at about point 12 of the clothes pin 13 it will freely enter the saw cut 14 at point 12 and the edges 11 will, if neces- The back sary. widen the saw cut at this point. In this manner the saw members 3 and 1- may readily begin their operation as soon as they are moi'ed against the pin 13 sulficiently. In using the saw it is desired to form two saw cuts 15 and 16 so as to produce resilient, tongues 17 and 18. t

In order to operate the saw and produce these results the back 8 of the saw is maintained against the wall 19 and is reciproQ cated back and forth preferably at a rather high speed and at the same time is gradually moved through the pin until the straight sections 7 operate to cut straight prising a pair of saw membersya guiding extension arranged at the front of the saw members'and a reinforcing structure ex tending from between the saw membersalmost across the extension for bracing and stiffening said extension.

3. A saw of the character described comprising a pair of parallel saw members having the teeth of the same character diverging from the front to the rear whereby said teeth operate at the same time, a back connecting said saw members together, said back being straight and arranged at an angle to said teeth and a guiding extension projecting from the front of said back, said extension having a somewhat rounded front end.

WILLIAM GEORGE BAKER.
